here’s the video of them loading up 17.8 tons of US medical equipment to send China back on Feb 7. Trump knew by Jan. 20 at the latest we had cases. Pompeo even tweeted about it 1/?

Then I started wondering what news was going on Feb. 7 to distract us... I always try that. App failure at Iowa caucus. Trumps hissy fit at the prayer breakfast. GOP wanted Hunter Biden info.... but that’s not all... 2/?
The White House said they had killed the leader of Al-Qaeda. Trump was pushing a jobs report. Trump was taking protected land in Utah. That’s a hell of a lot for one day. They did their best at distracting us even though it’s on record. 3/?
Then I got severely angry... yes I remember those nurses in NYC that had no gowns so they were wearing trashbags for PPE. Trash bags. A nurse manager their died recently.

Or this article which made our blood run cold because it told the fact that doctors are writing their wills. There on the front lines without adequate PPE... it’s just a matter of time.

I just recently read about doctors refusing to see patients due to inadequate PPE. These are patients with compromised immune systems, elderly, etc... but it’s your life of theirs at that point.

We heard about the ER doctor in Seattle who got fired for begging for supplies like masks and gowns and other PPE.

And we all have been rolling behind governor Whitmer in Michigan. Trump has been trying to pull a quid pro quo on her… Saying she has to show him respect and treat him better or he won’t return her calls for much-needed PPE equipment

We’ve been hearing the stories and read the articles about doctors and nurses that have to wash and reuse their masks. Front desk workers having to sew ribbons on the masks because the elastic is worn out. Even wearing rain gear as PPE

Or how about that horrifying letter that surfaced recently in Michigan hospitals. Because Trump wasn’t helping, they were having to tell people they had to extubate them to give their vent to someone healthier... A death sentence.

And I’ve lost count of how many reports of doctors or nurses or other staff contracting COVID-19 & dying.... due to lack of medical equipment & PPE while trying to save American lives. It’s sickening.

There are ways to let them know how we feel. @funder of the @TheDemCoalition has been sharing the information for you to text and contact your senators and request PPE for hospitals

This lady provides an informational video & a link to a spreadsheet with information on all American senators. Call them & let them know you’re mad as hell. That you’re sick of our healthcare workers dying due to lack of PPE

Or here’s the handy Page provided by the U.S. Senate for you to look up your senator by state. Then it provides you every way to contact them. Tell them how you feel. We can’t stay quiet

You see this has been bugging the hell out of me since I heard of the 17.8 tons of medical equipment they shipped to China. Our healthcare workers deserve PPE & medical equipment. They’re the heroes on the front lines. They’re putting their lives in danger...
They’re putting their families’ lives in danger. This is beyond wrong. Call your Senators & demand PPE. Let them know you know that Pompeo & Trump shipped all that to China Feb. 7... after our 1st cases here. Please share this....
Honestly it’s the least we can do to help. It just takes a few minutes. Our healthcare workers are so worth it & would be grateful. Light up the switchboard. #PPEshortage #PPE #TrumpVirusCoverup #Covid_19 #HealthcareHeroes #Health #StayHome #CoronaUpdate
Just a heads up. I just got this happy notice for posting this thread. Not sure how limited I am. I don’t want anyone to think I’m ignoring you. Please share the hell out of this. I figure what they’re doing is worth it if it helps our healthcare workers.
It seems to let me talk to you all & answer you. Some of you it lets me like your comments and others it won’t let me like. But I do. I’m too stubborn to let this stop me. If I disappear I’m just sleeping & will be back.
My husband actually came across further proof of us giving 17.8 tons i’ve medical equipment to China. So I’m adding it to this thread. As soon as I’m able. any proof y’all provide... I’ll add it in too.

One clarification: it’s been brought to my attention that I said the plane was being loaded...meant to say it was being unloaded in China. The video was taken & shared by Mike Pompeo. (My microphone hates me lol & I rely on it too much due to vision loss.)
Update: I’ve been digging around on the State Dept. site. The official release said the medical equipment was from the private sector. Yet on Lou Dobbs & Sean Hannity on FoxNews transcripts... it’s pretty clear that the US donated the medical supplies 1a/
On Washington Watch with Tony Perkins on Feb. 12 he stares that the US has given China $100 million to fight Covid19 & that we’ve given them medical supplies. Absolutely no mention of private sector. See pics & page attached
On Lou Dobbs show on FoxNews Pompeo again response to Lou’s question “that this administration has shipped all sorts of medical supplies to the Chinese”. That sounds like the US administration not private sector gave the medicals
As if this wasn’t enough, Pompeo gave a speech at the National Governor’s Association. In it Pompeo refers to “the 18 tons of medical supplies the United States just flew to China”

Here’s the link to the state departments transcript of Pompeo’s interview with Lou Dobbs

And here’s the link to the transcript of Pompeo‘s interview on Washington watch with Tony Perkins

Finally on Feb. 11, Mike Pompeo & Alex Azar wrote an op-ed for USA Today titled “Our Coronavirus Response Is Protecting America”. They say “ The 18 tons of medical supplies the United States just this past week”.

ALERT: On March 20, Franklin Graham‘s evangelical charity Samaritan’s Purse set it’s entire field hospital including 20 tons of medical equipment & supplies to Italy. What the hell?!? First Trump & now his buddy Franklin Graham!

And here is the Wall Street Journal article about our nation stockpile shortage. Example state of MA only got 10% of what they ordered. It’s typical. Now this about China & Italy?!?

wsj.com/articles/u-s-s…
And then there’s this from Modern Healthcare about medical supplies plummeting as demand soars & why. What HHS and Trump ordered likely won’t arrive until late April. I need to puke

modernhealthcare.com/supply-chain/i…
BAD UPDATE: You’ve likely heard China sent us a small shipment of supplies to New York harbor late last night. They say they will send 22 more. Then my research found this....2 worldwide Chinese companies hoarding worldwide

thenationalpulse.com/news/china-med…
If you ask her this might not be a good thing... you need to read the Wall Street Journal article from a week ago. It’s about China using ‘soft power’ to basically get forgiven for the virus & gain influence & power.
